B.I.P. v3 CDT TCU remapping launch

Happy Holidays from BIP your M113K tuning specialist. Wanting to show our customer appreciation this Holiday Season, so BIP is offering WA5A 5 speed transmission tuning (TCU Tuning) for $525 shipped in the continental US .

This is a new product line we are launching via group buy. Our v3 CDT TCU remapping is available for all MBs and AMGs using the WA5A 5 speed series of transmissions including supercharged 5.5L V8, N/A 5.5L V8, biturbo 5.5L and 6.0L v12s (600MB/65AMG), supercharged 3.2L V6s, etc.


Because customer service comes first, with the best transmission tuning on the market running a close second , we have decided to make this a running GP so that we will keep no one waiting, even for the initial 5 customer group purchase minimum—meaning there’s no reason to wait to modify your transmissions ability to handle the extra power and torque your ECU tune and mechanical modifications have increased. Just as with ECU tuning certain maps must be changed when power and more specifically torque output is increased over stock, we identify and remap more pertinent maps than anyone else we are aware of. Remapping of the transmissions stock file to match the changes made to your ECU will increase driveline part durability and longevity while also yielding significant performance increases; including up and downshift quickness, increased paddle shift responsiveness in manual mode, sharpened throttle response, a change in the actual shift point (if done via ECU only the car will not shift at the new raised limit, it must be done in both controllers), we will also preserve the transmission internals (i.e. clutch packs) by modifying not only line pressure, but clutch pack volume fill rate, as well as a few dozen related maps.

With up to 40% of the Overall TQ management split between ECU and TCU in these vehicles (Anything with a MB/AMG 5 speed WA5A variant transmission) is found in the TCU, the gains are easily verified on the dyno, using a VBox or at the track. We tune not only WOT (wide open throttle) but PT (part throttle) as well so regardless of how you drive your beast you will always feel the difference. Changes in drivability and torque output rival that of high quality ECU tuning as the TCU similarly controls half the driveline. We also can calibrate the rear end gear in the EGS, if you chose to upgrade your ring and pinion to a steeper gear for increased torque multiplication. If you have an aftermarket stall which is higher than 2600rpms, then you really want the tune to receive optimal performance.

EGS52 and EGS53 Tuning time will vary depending on our daily workload and the method of return shipping speed you select. If possible we will remap and reship the TCU the same day, worst case the turnaround will be 2-3 days. For those not wanting to wait or that are unable to wait we do have spare TCUs available that you can simply plug and play with No Downtime at an additional cost. Shipping will be via UPS Ground.

Please let us know if you have any questions at all about the remapping or the entire process itself (we can tell you where the TCU is located per vehicle, how to remove it and where to ship it and if necessary.

Thanks again to our loyal customers and Happy Holidays!!!

If you press hard enough to activate the trans reset switch it can confuse the TCU. There is another thread on this. I am going to put in a throttle stop to keep the pedal from going that far. I’ll remove it when I need to reset the TCU. I am going to be putting in a MK Ultra TCU in the spring, hopefully I won’t have to teach it more than once. Good luck.

Neutral or limp mode with little or no throttle response? Neutral with throttle response?

I thought possibly the accelerator pedal was bad. It’s a common problem with these cars and outs the car into limp mode when floored.
